EXCLUSIVE: Buffalo 8 has acquired the streaming and VOD rights for INT. HALLWAY/NIGHTan existentialist black comedy from actor-director Billy Zane (Titanic), excluding the Cannes Film Festival. Details regarding the release plan have not been disclosed.

Co-written by Zane, Andre Alves, Nick Loeb and Hugo Melo, the pic follows a director (Zane) who monitors his actress wife, whom he suspects of having an adulterous affair, while she films a horror film in Georgia. He soon discovers that the film’s murderous plot parallels his darkest revenge fantasies, and one day, during production, he wakes up to discover that he has entered the film himself as the jealous husband and murderer in a comedy, meta-narrating a doomed love triangle set in purgatory. .

“INT. CORRIDOR. / NIGHT explores the universal themes of infidelity and the variety of ways one deals with the seemingly inevitable slide,” Zane said in a statement to Deadline. “From chaos and bloodshed to acceptance and unconditional love, it’s a road map to great heights through the improvisational process of low-budget cinema and everything else we endures to stay the course on an underfunded, overworked and woefully flawed production.”

Nikki Stier Justice, head of distribution for Buffalo 8, added: “Billy Zane demonstrates narrative ingenuity in INT. CORRIDOR/NIGHT, a film that transcends conventional storytelling. It is a captivating blend of comedy, existentialism and metafiction, delivering an immersive experience that challenges perceptions and delights the senses. »

INT. HALLWAY/NIGHT marks Zane’s second feature film as director, following the 2004 film lots of love. Also starring Helena Mattsson, Avery Joy Davis and Matthew Jacob, the film is produced by Karmel Bortoleti, Alves, Nelson Foerster and Zane. Victor Ciardelli III, Corinth Davenport, Jijo Reed and Valerie Van Galder served as executive producers on the project.
